Hmmm. Deep thoughts tonight... For me it's almost like the difference between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Christmas Eve brings thoughts of candlelight services, traditional hymns, reflecting on Mary and what she and Joseph endured (labor? in a stable? without another woman to help? not quite a time for jingle bells), and quiet anticipation. Christmas Day is a day of joyous celebration (not that Christmas Eve isn't... but it's a more raucous celebration I suppose!) -- celebrating His birth, showering each other with gifts, loud noises from new toys and crinkly wrapping paper and laughter. I can relate to both the silent night and jingle bells comparisons.
